A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III [DVD]

Classic Roman Coppola feel good film. Very funny, great dialogue, music and performances

This is the quirky indie I wanted to love, but didn't. Charley Sheen plays Charles Swan III, a type cast role. His girlfriend Ivana (Katheryn Winnick) breaks up with him. Charley is going through the mental phrase where he both wants her back and to "give her a kick." He has mental fantasies about their relationship which is supposed to be revealing psychologically as well as entertaining.Unfortunately it doesn't achieve any laughter and only a few smiles. The ending lacks the heart warming quality these films normally boast. Funny guy Bill Murray was a bore. Jason Schwartzman who does comedy wasn't funny. Patricia Arquette plays Charley's sister in a poorly written role. The film ending and opening cartoon sequences makes it appear to have been inspired from Monty Python, although it lacks the genius.This might make do as the fifth film from Redbox rental lot. I wouldn't buy it, even as a Sheen fan.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Brief picture/photo nudity.

It soon loses it,s sense of direction and meanders on with no sense of purpose, a lot of cigarettes where smoked in the making of the film and this makes me think were the two main actors trying to stay awake for the duration. Looks as if both of them are past it and perhaps early retirement should be considered as an alternative to persecuting us poor viewers with any more of this material.
